The lineup was different for the Islanders. More importantly, the effort was, too.
Casey Cizikas scored twice and Jean-Gabriel Pageau, Jordan Eberle, Anthony Beauvillier and Josh Bailey also snapped goal droughts as the Islanders, paced by a four-goal first period, won the middle match of a three-game series with the Flyers, 6-1, on Saturday night before a sell-out crowd of 1,400 at Nassau Coliseum.
Ilya Sorokin made 23 saves for the Islanders (20-8-4), who snapped a two-game losing slide.
The Islanders were passive, sloppy and without energy over the first two periods of a 4-3 loss to the Flyers on Thursday night at the Coliseum.
